I've identified most replacements apps to use on my pixel 10. The thing holding up my switch to graphene is photo storage and phone backups. I plan to use the app immich but where do you actually store your photos and back up your phone?

I self-host Immich for photo storage on my own server. All photos from my phone are automatically backed up there.

The immich server is backed up daily using restic, and those backups are stored in a Hetzner storage box. This way I have a local photo server plus an encrypted off-site backup in case something happens to the server.

I'm sure I could figure all that out but looking for something quick and easy to start. Don't want learning all that delay me leaving Google.
